The main character of the novel, Adam Gorospe, a newly rich man, talks about his social rise and the world in which he suddenly found himself, as well as the combination of big money, serious mafia and high politics, preparing a plot worthy of the most exciting crime novels. Fuentes shows both the invisible and brutal mechanisms of contemporary power from the inside and with tremendous power.

Above the exciting events in this novel, unusual twists and turns, as well as intersecting stories about love and passion, crime and politics, in Fuentes's novel there is a question that runs like a leitmotif through the entire novel: How to stop the ruin to which it is headed the whole country?
